My name is Pete, and I'm reaching out for help for my beloved dog, Gilligan. He's a 7-year-old Brittany Spaniel who has been my loyal companion, especially after I lost my wife four years ago. Recently, I found out that Gilligan has a tumor in his mouth that requires surgery, and the cost is more than I can manage on my retirement income and social security. The thought of losing another dog at seven years old is heartbreaking, especially after having to say goodbye to my last dog at the same age.

Gilligan means the world to me—he's truly all I have left. With your support, I hope to give him the operation he needs so he can recover and continue to bring joy and comfort to my life. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward his surgery and recovery. If you aren't able to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean so much to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. Your kindness will help give Gilligan a fighting chance and keep our little family together.
